Two More Adventurer Questions
« on: October 19, 2013, 04:47:38 pm »

1) Food costs money, and early on, you really don't get any coin for your quests. Water is easy enough to get, but food...not so much. How do you go about getting some?
2) Early on, I received a quest to go kill a goblin in the "Catacombs" of a town. I'm assuming those are underground, but how do I get there?

Get a bunch of followers and just kinda roam through the woods every once in a while. If you get attacked by wolves they'll usually kill them ALL. Go over, and butcher their bodies. Take what you need. I usually just take the meat and blood then move on. (Plenty of meat comes from one animal usually, and blood you can drink. Too much food can drag you down.) That's how I get my abundance of food.

Yeah they're REALLY hard to find, at least they were for me, you gotta go around and look for a down ramp or something. You can usually find them within like a castle or something but my major catacombs were a huge building outside of the castle with a lot of engravings. If you follow your compass you might be able to find the right thing, but that hasn't worked for me, I just search all over. You can use DFHack and use the reveal feature to find underground areas too. Worked for me once very well, other than that you're kind of on your own to find it.

1) Just take it from houses. If there aren't $s on the item nobody will care.
2) Switch to the travel map. There's an option that displays nearby buildings. Sometimes you can get to them from under the castle, I think?

Edit: Also, use this thread for small questions in the future: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=71780.0

I think you access the catacombs through the temple/shrine/altar? The building is full of engravings and there is a priest there. Not sure about the castle but there is a dungeon under it.

Catacombs are entered through temples. They are shown with light blue text in a travel map. Temples are usually open-roofed structrures with water (or even magma) middle. Dungeons are the ones entered through keeps, and sewers go between them (usually).
